Career Workshop: How to Build a Career in a Multinational Corporation

On April 16, 2025, the Prague University of Economics and Business (VŠE) hosted an inspiring career workshop titled “How to Build a Career in a Multinational Corporation.” The event was led by VŠE alumni Pavel Halfar, who currently holds the position of Channel Management Director at Prusa Research. Throughout his career, he has held key roles in international companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and Dell.

During the 90-minute session held in RB 204, participants gained valuable insights into how internal processes function in large corporations, the challenges of leading teams in a global environment, and how to manage change in a dynamic business setting. Pavel Halfar shared his personal experiences from various commercial roles and offered practical advice on how to succeed and grow in multinational organizations.

We truly appreciate that VŠE alumni maintain strong ties with their alma mater – many of them are happy to return to campus to share their professional journeys and experiences. Their involvement and willingness to give back are a testament to the lasting connection between VŠE and its graduates, long after they complete their studies.

The workshop was part of a broader portfolio of activities organized by the VŠE Career Centre, which regularly hosts events aimed at supporting the professional development of students and alumni. Our alumni actively participate in these initiatives – as speakers, mentors, or panel guests – helping to bridge the gap between academia and real-world practice.

We thank all participants and look forward to future events together!
